Ad Agency BBDO Executives have cash to buy McMansion
November 19, 2009
Timothy Smith and Brigette Whisnant bought a four-bedroom, 3.5-bath home at 621 Park Ave. in River Forest for $677,500 from John and Katrina Vainisi on Oct. 28. — according to this article.. The McMansion is in a NICE neighbourhood. Meanwhile nearly 500 of their fellow employees at BBDO Detroit received walking papers last week and last month their clients were mailing out RFP’s like no tomorrow.
The article has a picture of the house and a google maps satellite view of the house.
Whisnant is a senior vice president and director of film and digital production at Energy BBDO, a full-service advertising agency. She previously served as a senior producer at Fallon and worked with Cliff Freeman & Partners.
Looks like someone isn’t worried about losing her job like the rest of us.

You sound like the looters in Atlas Shrugged.
wow. And they probably used the $500 BBDO owes me too.
C'mon…click on the article and you'll see that the “McMansion” is only 1,760 square feet and built in 1916 — not a very popular time for McMansions. I get the point you're trying to make — some people shouldn't be getting oodles of money when others are getting thrown onto the street — but don't package links to match a headline that you had in your head.Realy?
No one is saying that BBDO is doing things right, but don't bash them because it's easy.
